How does the revised version of our class differ from the first version?
There were a lot of differences between our revised version of our class compared with the first version. First off all, the biggest change was having everything graded at the end of the semester. The new lesson plan was a big thing. You completely changed the topics that we went over. I like the fact that you changed the topics around, but you should have made us speak up more. I don’t think we knew what was exactly going on at that time. I think we were all still confused about the class change and we were not actually focused on the fact that we had to choose something to write about.
Which one do you prefer? Why?
First of all, both of the lesson plans had there positive and negatives but I most defiantly preferred the revised class. It gave us a lot more freedom. It actually made me feel like I was in college. It is up to us as students to get things done on time. I actually felt responsible for once in college. All of my teachers in high school told me that college was going to be a lot different, but coming here I realized that it isn’t that much different. A lot of teachers still accept the same lies. Having the lesson plan this way, students have no excuse; we are handing everything in at the end. It is our own fault if we don’t pass.
What could be changed next time? Why?
I personally didn’t like the fact that we completely don’t know are grade. It puts a lot of stress on us as students. I know that it is our own responsibility to get things done, but it is hard to know how to improve if you don’t know how you did on the previous essays. Yes, you did hand us back our fist in class essay, but it would have been better if you handed it back a lot sooner. By you showing us that, I was able to see how you graded and how I was somewhat doing in the class. If you were to do this lesson plan next year I would most defiantly give that essay back a lot sooner. It is a good way to give you students a heads up as to how they are doing.
What did you like/dislike about the Clark 111 classroom itself?
I really enjoyed working in Clark 111. It was a great experience. I have never been able to use a computer in a class before. Most of the time, the teachers don’t trust the students. It would have been better if we could have used the big computers more. Overall, I really like working in the Clark class room and there was nothing that I disliked about it; it is a great resource.

Recources Reflections
1) how did you find your recources..
For my recources, i used the library, the internet and myself. AT the library I found books to use. I went on the coarse catolog and found books that best fitted my supject. I also used the library's webite to find magazing articles; i went on academic premeire. I also interviewed my friends that live in the dorms with me. I asked they why they used facebook; what is facebooks purpose.
2) How has research altered your original idea...
In the begining i really didnt know what to talk about, but as i started to do research it really heloed me. I usually tend to pick really broad topics, so while I was doing the research, i was able to narrow down my topic. Now, i am focusing more on the idea that americans like to gossip and facebook it making it worse.....

This is a magazine article from Time magazine. It states a lot of interesting facts about facebook and how it is used. In the article is stated “It's a website, but in a sense, it's another version of the Internet itself: a Net within the Net, one that's everything the larger Net is not.” This article truly made me think about facebook as a whole. It talks about how facebook is a way to learn all about you. You are basically giving away all of you information; we are living in a world without secrets; it is practically impossible to hide anything these days. Time magazine is also a creatable source because it has to be checked before it can be published. It is also a highly looked at magazine and it would be very shocking for the readers to find out that some of their information is inaccurate.

For my interview, I interviewed a eighteen year old boy from San Francisco. He is currently going to San Jose state and he is a freshman. Right now he is single and his is interested in women. His birthday is on May ninth. He went to Westmore high and he was the class of 08. I was able to find all of this information just by being his friend on facebook.
Why do you have a Facebook account?
Vincent: All of my friends had one, and they told me to make one.
Me: So you feel that you were peer pressured?
Vincent: Yeah. They kept bugging me until I made one!
Me: Do you feel that having a facebook is a good thing?
Vincent: Yes.
Me: Why?
Vincent: It is a great way for me to communicate with my friends.
Me: Do you feel that there are any down sides to having a facebook?
Vincent: Yeah, it can become very addictive. Sometimes I don’t realize how long I have been on it till I look at my clock. I is a great way to see what people have been up to.
Me: So, in a way it can be a bit depressing because you get to see what people have been doing, but you may have not been invited.
Vincent: Yeah, I never thought about it that way, but it is true. Sometimes I have seen photos of my friends hanging out and wished that I could have been there.
Me: How many hours a day do you spend on Facebook?
Vincent: About one hour a day.

This article talks about how facebook is extremely addicting. In the article, it states that “14.8 percent of Facebook users admit to all-day loafing.” This is a percentage out of 500, so that is a really high number. The fact that people can spend their whole day on facebook is scary. It is a way to stalk a person, but sometimes people can go too far. A person should never know what a person is doing every second of every day. Not only is facebook taking up students time, it is also taking up a lot of adults time. There are a lot of people out there who cannot stay away from facebook. It is affecting the workforce greatly. The article states that “Employment law firm Peninsula recently estimated that 233 million hours are lost every month in the UK alone as a result of employees using social networking sites” Social networking is changing our society greatly.

Wikipedia - Facebook
Shockingly there was a lot of information on Wikipedia that was very resourceful. It also seemed very trustworthy to use. Wikipedia gave a lot of helpful information; it is a credible source. It gave a lot of back round information as to how facebook came to be. It stated who invented it, and when it was invented. It also talks about where around the world facebook can be looked at.
What was really shocking was the fact that Wikipedia stated the fact that facebook is a way to meet new people. Most people think of Facebook as a way of communicating with your current friends both near and far; they don’t think about how they want to meet new people. Wikipedia also talks about how Facebook is a social network; it is a way to communicate your ideas to others. While researching my social network on Wikipedia, I found a lot of interesting new facts.

Many people don’t realize this, but there are a lot of ads on facebook that you don’t realize. While on facebook you are receiving advertisements just as if you were watching a television commercial. Another thing Wikipedia mentioned is that you have to be thirteen years of age to make one. As of 2008 there are only 700 workers that work on facebook.
While looking at the discussion part of the Wikipedia source, the information seemed more invalid; Most especially because it is written in the first person. Also, the discussion is basically people’s opinions and this isn’t a credible source.

Social Networking Services (FACEBOOK)
Some people say that facebook is bad, but others say that facebook is good; which one is it?
In order to create a facebook all you need to have is a name and an email address. Once you have that you are set. Once you create your account, you then begging to look for your friends. Accounts are allowed to private or open. If you account is private, no one can look at your profile unless they are friends will you but if your account is open, anyone can look at you account.
It is actually a little bit scary. There is a large amount of information on your actual facebook account. When you create it, you are giving away your name, your birthday, your religion and political views, your relationship status, your school, and all of your friends. If you had a stalker, this is a gold mind for them. On facebook there is an application, where you post up what you are doing or just how you are feeling. It is a way to express how things are going in your life at that period of time. In that aspect it is like twitter.
Facebook also has the application of posting all of your photos. This is a way of letting people know what you have been up to. So, if someone went to an amazing party the night before you can be sure that the next day those photos are going to be up there. If you are friends with a person who is in the photo you can look at the whole album that person put up, even I you don’t know them. Having photos of yourself up on a website can be dangerous at times. You have to be very careful that you don’t friend the wrong person.
You can access facebook through any computer. Facebook even has the application of going on it through your phone. It has a way of getting you hooked. Facebook has so many different applications and sites you can go through, you could be overwhelmed for hours.
Yes, facebook is useful because it is a way to communicate with friends, but it has a lot of downsides. It is a great way of keeping a friendship with someone if you both go to completely different schools that are far away from eachother. It is bad because you are giving a lot of your information away. Your photo is out there for the whole world to see. Facebook is also bad, because it is very time consuming. There are a lot of people who just sit on facebook for hours and hours.

Acessing Technology Articles
In the article, "Advances in Medical Technology: The flip Side" by Jan Potts truly went of the fact that things will always have consiquences. It basically goes over the fact that life is a chain reaction; when one thing ocurrs a lot will be affected. The sources that Jan Pot used in her article we very relavent. Most of them were from the news. She had really interesing statists that went over the fact medicine is not always the answer. Sometimes when you take medicine it cures things up at the moment but in the long run it could just be affecting you more. I definatly feel that this is an authoritative source because she has very good sources that support her idea.

Technology and Privacy Issues
Privacy is a very huge concern in our world right now. The fact that people can get a lot of information about you by just the click of a button scares a lot of people. There is not a lot we can do about it though. Yes, the governments has the right to get your information, but should the average every day person have the same right?
In life, when one person messes up, usually a lot of people are affected. That one person ends up feeling bad but there is usually nothing that they can do. They are stuck feeling guilty for something that they can’t change. Because we are in a technology world there is a lot of information of different people posted everywhere. In the article “Stolen Credit Cards Exposed on Google-report” by Elinor Mills, she discusses the facts on how the internet is getting easier to hack into. The people that created the internet also created a bunch of loop holes. In life there is always going to be more that one way to do one task; one may be faster, but the other way may be more affective. This also applies to the internet; if you know your way around it, you may be set for life. The internet has ways for people to cheat and a lot of people do so. Just the other day 19,000 British web user’s credit cards information was reviled to the public. Websites may contain a lot of information, but they do not have the right to reveal that information.
news.cnet.com. 2009 CBS Interactive Inc. 26 March. 2009 http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10207447-83.html
People all over the world are being affected by the internet in both good and bad ways. Our world is changing and we need to change with it; People need to realize that as the internet changes laws need to change. In November of 2007 a young sixteen year old girl named Alison Chang was horribly humiliated due to the fact that Virgin Mobile Australia used a photo of her that a friend posted as an advertisement. The friend posted the picture on to a website called Flicker and he never thought that anything would come of it. Flicker is a photo sharing website. The friend had the rights to the photos of himself, but not for the photos of Alison; this was due to the fact that her friend had a CC agreement. New laws need to be created due to the internet. People need to realize that the world is changing and we need to change with it. There are a lot of copyright issues. Doesn’t this affect the right of publicity issues and copyright issues? Flicker states that once the photos are up they have the right to use them. By them saying that you could make the argument that it is affecting the deformation claim and invasion of privacy claim. The court room has the right to decide what laws that they are going to use because the laws overlap in many ways. Virgin Mobile should have received her parents’ permission before using the photo. A way to prevent this is just by reading the terms of use policy. A person should always know what they are posting and who has the right to look at it. Once something gets in the wrong persons hand and they have control over it, things go bad.
CNN Video. Ryan Zehl. 4 August. 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IV88jLP2gY
People are being more reliant on the internet and this is both a good and bad thing. People need to realize that the world is evolving but a person should never fully rely on one thing. There are a lot of people out there who don’t know what privacy means; people need to have control over themselves and they need to learn how to make their own decisions. When you post things on the internet about yourself you are putting yourself at risk. There are a lot of creepy people out there and you never know what is going to happen. People need to make things safe for them. You should never put yourself at risk. I’m not saying to keep yourself fully isolated, you just should be careful.

People all over the world are being affected by the internet in both good and bad ways. Our world is changing and we need to change with it; People need to realize that as the internet changes laws need to change. In November of 2007 a young sixteen year old girl named Alison Chang was horribly humiliated due to the fact that Virgin Mobile Australia used a photo of her that a friend posted as an advertisement. The friend posted the picture on to a website called Flicker and he never thought that anything would come of it. Flicker is a photo sharing website. The friend had the rights to the photos of himself, but not for the photos of Alison; this was due to the fact that her friend had a CC agreement. New laws need to be created due to the internet. People need to realize that the world is changing and we need to change with it. There are a lot of copyright issues. Doesn’t this affect the right of publicity issues and copyright issues? Flicker states that once the photos are up they have the right to use them. By them saying that you could make the argument that it is affecting the deformation claim and invasion of privacy claim. The court room has the right to decide what laws that they are going to use because the laws overlap in many ways. Virgin Mobile should have received her parents’ permission before using the photo. A way to prevent this is just by reading the terms of use policy. A person should always know what they are posting and who has the right to look at it. Once something gets in the wrong persons hand and they have control over it, things go bad.
CNN Video. Ryan Zehl. 4 August. 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IV88jLP2gY
People are being more reliant on the internet and this is both a good and bad thing. People need to realize that the world is evolving but a person should never fully rely on one thing. There are a lot of people out there who don’t know what privacy means; people need to have control over themselves and they need to learn how to make their own decisions. When you post things on the internet about yourself you are putting yourself at risk. There are a lot of creepy people out there and you never know what is going to happen. People need to make things safe for them. You should never put yourself at risk. I’m not saying to keep yourself fully isolated, you just should be careful.

OUTLINE AND THESIS
*SHOW ME THE MONEY!! *
INTRODUCTION
THESIS – There is a large amount of college students who feel that the California State budget cuts are affecting them greatly; there are a lot of things that are being taken away from college students due to the budget cuts.
I) Students are now going to have to make the decision as to if it is actually worth it to go to school right now.
a) Schools are having a lot of problems with money,
1) Because of the money issue a lot of classes will be cut.
2) Students will no longer have the opportunity to take classes like, cooking, sewing, dance, music, art, and a lot more
b) Due to the budget cuts a lot more students are going to be rejected from schools.
1) San Jose State is going to decline 3,500 students admission,
c) Adding classes at San Jose State is going to be practically impossible.
1) After hearing about San Jose State rejecting a lot of people would make you think that it will be easier to add classes, because there are less people but no, it is just the opposite. It will be extremely hard to add a class. Most likely they will be full. You would have to be really lucky to get a class.
2) Also, teachers will be a lot more stressed, so they will be a lot less likely to negotiate with you.
a) Sometimes if you talk to a professor one on one, they will be more likely to help you with your problem. If they are stressed out all the time they won’t want to be helpful; they will want to take the easy way out.
b) Also, because there are more students, teachers will have a lot less time to help students.
II) Due to the budget cuts in California it will raise the price of the tuition not only for San Jose State, but for all the state schools.
a) For a lot of students this will be a big problem.
1) Even though there are scholarships out there, they can be very hard to get.
2) Also, sometimes parents already have a hard time paying the tuition now, what is it going to be like when the prices go up?
b) It is not fair that the price of education is going up but the education isn’t getting any better.
1) The education would actually be getting worse because there would be fewer classes and more students.
III) Education is the one thing in life that you truly need to fully succeed to your highest potential.
a) In life there are always going to be obstacles but we should always find a way to overcome them.
1) The fact that you made it to college is a huge accomplishment
A) A lot of students don’t even make it that far.
B) There are a lot of people that feel that it is too hard and they just give up.
2) Education will help you a lot through life.
A) Without a college degree, it is a lot less likely that you will find a good, high paying job.
B) Also, without education you won’t have the plain old basic knowledge that everyone else has.
3) In the speech “The Audacity of Hope,” by Barak Obama, he states that he has high expectations for the world.
A) He feels that we can do a lot better.
1) We should all learn from what he has to say because he truly believes in our nation.
B) At one point during the speech he stated “I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working class families with a road to opportunities.”
1) Barak feels that everyone is important; every life makes a difference in this world.

Interview Transcription: California Budget Cuts 2-23-09
For my interview, I decided to interview my dad over the phone. My dad is fifty-one and he is a very hard working man who lives in San Francisco. He works for the company of PG&E and he has done so for over 25 years now. He is very honest and loyal man.
Sarah: So, what are your views on the California State Budget cuts?
Peter: Well, first of all I should say, I do not know all of the details. But I do know, is that we all need to cut back as a nation. We need to cut back with both the state and the federal.
I personally believe that we are not cutting back in the right areas.
Sarah: Why do you say that?
Peter: Well, first of all I believe that our students should not be suffering. I believe that there is another place that we could be getting the money from. Our students should not be suffering. Students will be making the future, so honestly why are we making them suffer?
Sarah: I completely agree with you on that one.
Peter: I honestly hope that the law makers are making the right decision. I do not know the choices that they have in front of them, so maybe cutting from education is the best thing that they have right now. Maybe other things can be cut but they just don’t see it right now.
Peter: You bringing up this topic make me think of Gray Davis. One of the reasons he was fired aside from the energy crisis is because he wanted to raise the car tax. It basically says that you have to pay more money when you buy a car. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fought against that though.
This topic also reminds me of when they wanted to make the gasoline tax even higher than it is now. The governor also fought against that too. I felt that was a great decision too. Gasoline in California is already in highest in California, why would we want to make it any higher. So many people are struggling.
The main thing that we have to think about is the small businesses. While the economy is down, this is the hardest time for them to stay afloat. By raising the taxes on gasoline that would just make things worse for them. Most businesses use cars to make things easier. Just think about the PG&E tree trimmers, pizza delivery men, UPS trucks and much more. Once the gas goes up it makes it harder for businesses to say alive.
Sarah: Yeah, I agree completely. Once one price goes up all of the prices go up. By doing this it just makes things worse for everyone. Businesses need lower fees in order to survive, and life needs businesses to survive.
Sarah: Thank you so much for letting me interview you; you told me a lot of things that I wouldn’t have thought of.

Rehtorical Stratagies
In the article "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama, Obama uses a lot of different stratagies to get his point across. He has a very strong tone. while he goes on in his speech he also trys to get the simpathy vote. He talks ablot how nothing is holding him back because he believes in our nation. He said that even if you struggle you can get through anything. He also states a lot of interesting facts about Sen. John Kerry. He supports him and.......
The article "The Audacity of hope" by Barack Obama was a very interesting article that i really enjoyed reading. It was interesting to read because i was able to compare and contrast how Obama was then and now. He has a different tone in this speech than his inageration speech. He states thank you a lot in the begining making me assume that he is shawlked to be there. He talks about his ancestors and how they grew up. How they had a hard life but still believed in education.......

02-17-2009 Obama's Inageration Speech
In President Obama’s speech, how does Obama persuade the people to believe in and follow him?
Doing this assignment was the first time that I have watched the inauguration speech of President Obama. While watching the speech I felt that he truly meant what he said. The tone of his voice made him sound very convincing and yet extremely powerful. You could tell just by the tone of his voice that he meant what he was saying. During the speech he mentions that we are a young nation and we still have time to change our ways. Throughout the whole speech he also makes references to the past. Obama realizes that our nation has made a lot of mistakes but if we were to work hard, we will not make them again. He feels that we need to respect our ancestor because they made our world the way it is today. Also, during the speech he takes action; he states the things that we need to accomplish. He said that the schools need to, “meet the demands of the new age” and the economy needs to get better. He feels that we make our own fate, so we need to make the right choices. He also said this is, “the new era of responsibility.” He made sure that throughout the whole speech he addressed everyone; he didn’t want anyone to feel left out. As a new leader, he needs to make a good impression. He had to be appealing for all. This speech was very meaningful and you could honestly tell that Obama meant every word he said. He truly wants to change our nation for the better.

Reflection on how the class has changed...
I am really excited for the new class. Honestly the old assignments seemed pretty boring and now they seem a lot better. I have never blogged before and it seems interestion. I also really like the new class room that we will be using sometimes. It is a lot bigger and it is nice having a computer. I have never had a teacher gared all of the assignments at the end of the semester before so that should be interesting..........
